Gas Well Boom Puts Flatbed Hauling Back to Work in North Central PA

Sit in a diner off US-220 near Williamsport and you’ll probably hear it from the next booth: the rigs are busy again. After a couple of slow years, drilling crews are back on pads across Lycoming and Bradford counties. Each pad needs steel, mats and machinery hauled up roads mostly built for milk trucks and school buses. Almost all of it rides on open decks, which is why flatbed hauling services in the region are booked out again. The activity shows up in the numbers: as Penn Business Report notes, citing the Independent Fiscal Office , Pennsylvania drilled 446 new wells in 2025, up 44.3% and the first annual increase since 2022, with Lycoming and Bradford among the five counties that produced 70% of the state’s gas. More wells mean more freight, and most of it won’t fit in a box. Casing pipe comes in long joints, often 40 feet or more. Rig mats are big and awkward. Pump skids and wellhead parts get lifted on and off with a crane or a large loader. What the roads are like up there Getting to a well pad in Bradford County is rarely a straight shot. You can run US-6 into

Williamsport toy store opening shop number 'too' downtown

Williamsport, Pa. — A new Moose is just around the corner in downtown Williamsport. Moose Too, located at 343 Pine St., Williamsport, neighboring Pine Square, is holding a Grand Opening Party Nov. 13 from 5 to 8 p.m., and everyone is invited to come celebrate the child-like whimsy of adults. Moose Too, sister store to The Mulberry Moose on Mulberry Street, is designed for an older customer, early teen through adult. It has a more "grunge" atmosphere, and some products use some light profanity. The carefully curated collection is meant for laughs and good fun, but parents might want to be cautious with little ones. The Moose Too store will bring new and fun items such as collectable blind boxes, complex and simple puzzles, figure build-kits, stationary, and more! Whether someone is looking for funky socks or silly journals, the goal of the Moose's is to bring a sense of play to their customers. Five years ago, Nicole Desaulniers, owner of The Mulberry Moose toy store, moved to Williamsport to start a new chapter in her life. In early 2024, her idea for The Mulberry Moose was born, and by June, its doors opened at 423 Mulberry Street. The Williamsport

Pennsylvania Has 4 Restored Grist Mills Where Water Wheels Still Turn For Visitors

One Pennsylvania mill lets you eat breakfast while a 24-foot water wheel turns on the other side of the glass. I love that detail. It makes pancakes feel like a field trip. That mill is not the only one still at work. Across the state, old wheels keep scooping creek water and spinning heavy stones.

10 Pennsylvania Fabric Shops Packed With Rare Finds, Colorful Bolts, And Old-Fashioned Sewing Supplies

One Lancaster County fabric store opens its doors at 7:30 in the morning, which means some sewists are browsing bolts before most people finish their coffee. Another shop in the same county stocks more than 6,000 bolts, and I can’t decide if that sounds like heaven or a very pleasant trap.
